Which means it’s not photorealistic, more impressionistic. I don’t love it but I had to paint to our art club’s theme. The good part is it only took two days. There is some glare on the corner of the paper because the drying paper warped the stretcher and caused some buckling. I’m not very happy with it but at least I have something to put in the show.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLDGm6WafG6QNuxZD9CNl0CU3v2PQdwswQhy-np63FtYTF1ajE_UjeCQWWhOVXcz7VVrlj7uqZ7KZDdj6CFhVU2u2PsQMnqdUNIwEHSVB6YdDfYaAoln0jia7uu3b3YQCuBRXXcYFzv68m_sp79WMRtMfyGqand7EN5JPKxobvKkdvmf5xTwNA4rslV6E/s3088/IMG_1519.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2480" data-original-width="3088" height="257" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLDGm6WafG6QNuxZD9CNl0CU3v2PQdwswQhy-np63FtYTF1ajE_UjeCQWWhOVXcz7VVrlj7uqZ7KZDdj6CFhVU2u2PsQMnqdUNIwEHSVB6YdDfYaAoln0jia7uu3b3YQCuBRXXcYFzv68m_sp79WMRtMfyGqand7EN5JPKxobvKkdvmf5xTwNA4rslV6E/s320/IMG_1519.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Ellenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06108215197848207855noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486259320475229857.post-72208445715035566942023-11-20T13:51:00.000-05:002023-11-20T13:51:30.834-05:00Storm Warning Step 2<p> Another session after drying.

The theme is “Panorama: Northern Ontario Landscapes”. I hate doing landscapes and have procrastinated for months. I finally found one of my photos to try and paint loosely but just started it this morning. I have two days before it has to be photographed and three days before it needs delivering! I have to paint it, wax it, and frame it. Wish me luck. </p><p>This is where I’m at after just over an hour.

It needs a spray varnish, framing, and as a final touch, I’m going to add Cedar cuttings on a few places around the edge. This is a good place for a bit of experimentation and that’s why the painting is more impressionistic rather that my usual realistic style.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9t9dzpoZGRV-f9k3VngusGieftWvbvXbCXmrdiD4vU2qfY2cSlBx8eYMqiuGhju0uiO02zxWrnRQNY7GFPDe1sqbnEXDv-r6t5Wyu15zFKzNkFeJft6wnEYKDidk3_-27AmK5DgBpz17fpu4IsKmsKVNf9pqeWd8BUxlhQdx0otZLworGaFeuRZ_NGYs/s3406/IMG_1490.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2637" data-original-width="3406" height="248" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9t9dzpoZGRV-f9k3VngusGieftWvbvXbCXmrdiD4vU2qfY2cSlBx8eYMqiuGhju0uiO02zxWrnRQNY7GFPDe1sqbnEXDv-r6t5Wyu15zFKzNkFeJft6wnEYKDidk3_-27AmK5DgBpz17fpu4IsKmsKVNf9pqeWd8BUxlhQdx0otZLworGaFeuRZ_NGYs/s320/IMG_1490.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Ellenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06108215197848207855noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486259320475229857.post-16621449032239975412023-09-04T13:27:00.001-04:002023-09-04T13:27:47.578-04:00Tulips step 4<p> Yesterday I spent a couple of more hours on this.

I’m not going to go photorealistic this time. The background will be very impressionistic so as not to draw attention from the flowers. Plus, this painting will be hanging outside in all weather for a week so I don’t want to put in a whole lot of work in case it gets ruined. It will be varnished but it will have to contend with the weather, insects, animals, and maybe even vandals. I hope to be finished the painting this week. I have others waiting in line to be done also with deadlines.</p><p>The photo has a bluish tint again that’s not there in real life.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbuQc821yF3LV64lX8FpKy9p_HjJSJlFshReH2eqEmBYVwpNJkS1Xr1Gm_1U1AOWhF2FMcVqxLprZC4LAWVAUn5DL8T7sF0jbFSu8s5COW4DtpXmPtUT2jY39K1SbrEBPPUNTx2AoVf5a5Wuod7h5uJ5iOaVp69hz0zsGARMZ-riROLigBi-L5gSLLTMY/s2632/IMG_1472.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2001" data-original-width="2632" height="243" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbuQc821yF3LV64lX8FpKy9p_HjJSJlFshReH2eqEmBYVwpNJkS1Xr1Gm_1U1AOWhF2FMcVqxLprZC4LAWVAUn5DL8T7sF0jbFSu8s5COW4DtpXmPtUT2jY39K1SbrEBPPUNTx2AoVf5a5Wuod7h5uJ5iOaVp69hz0zsGARMZ-riROLigBi-L5gSLLTMY/s320/IMG_1472.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Ellenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06108215197848207855noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486259320475229857.post-38262730112315250432023-08-20T21:41:00.000-04:002023-08-20T21:41:23.729-04:00Hidden Tulips Step 2<p> I continued blocking in shapes around the flowers.

Now that gardening season is winding down and art show season is getting close, I have to get painting.</p><p>This one is for an unusual show put on by our local art club. The paintings will be hung along a trail through the woods for people to see as they follow the path. </p><p>I think it’s 12x 16” on wrapped canvas (watercolour paper wrapped and stapled around a canvas). It is of some lovely yellow Tulips I found in my yard hidden under some Cedar hedges.</p><p>So far I am just blocking in areas of colour to be able to understand where things are in the chaos of branches, leaves, and grass. I am also putting in Cedar branches using negative painting to keep some bright where the light hits. It will become clearer as I work on it. The fun part for this outdoor show is that I think I’ll finish it by draping some Cedar branches hanging over the edges in places to mimic how they looked when I found them. If I want to experiment this is the show. LOLThis photo has a blue cast to it for some reason. I’ll correct that in the next step.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1IIdC6ZlrGrfmd0cLofBV-AC3BpCIxbo-rFTT2S_EwNBnTYCXKw6iGsa1Gu_p9cRsVmBSdjmMp0OkMDOc9BQstdf70vRUQBSTol2-5GyiIO9zGyopcxkNuH2XTaF8wBnyMv4yVziXWWM7r6WRFfLEOC8ziqOH2fGklDDANnKLjao0y4daqE87HAd8vJI/s2853/IMG_1465.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2307" data-original-width="2853" height="259" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1IIdC6ZlrGrfmd0cLofBV-AC3BpCIxbo-rFTT2S_EwNBnTYCXKw6iGsa1Gu_p9cRsVmBSdjmMp0OkMDOc9BQstdf70vRUQBSTol2-5GyiIO9zGyopcxkNuH2XTaF8wBnyMv4yVziXWWM7r6WRFfLEOC8ziqOH2fGklDDANnKLjao0y4daqE87HAd8vJI/s320/IMG_1465.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Ellenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06108215197848207855noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486259320475229857.post-74679653157345972182022-10-27T10:05:00.001-04:002022-10-27T10:05:19.032-04:00Final photo of finished portrait<p> It’s done and waxed.

I struggled with the plaid getting confuse so I’ve figured out a different method for next time.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJliuY66t93LPqLPJ2Ny4GpPLgDlu17nRQszjbuZ5zyQWLu1sk21IFKyJ9Aw3ulR7l4iboMHLiD9okMOLMGYJhExS67ErNmwyysVxMXOVOjgPGfsNqDNGFBJoWyg8Pg0pYrpaTyJNelMCSrCxu_s4sSAINGX8Jbnf7HiZ6n7vYXVZ77kPJGL0rdY0r/s2974/9CF2D378-2517-4D92-B278-59D1DA4DC501.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2974" data-original-width="2383" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJliuY66t93LPqLPJ2Ny4GpPLgDlu17nRQszjbuZ5zyQWLu1sk21IFKyJ9Aw3ulR7l4iboMHLiD9okMOLMGYJhExS67ErNmwyysVxMXOVOjgPGfsNqDNGFBJoWyg8Pg0pYrpaTyJNelMCSrCxu_s4sSAINGX8Jbnf7HiZ6n7vYXVZ77kPJGL0rdY0r/s320/9CF2D378-2517-4D92-B278-59D1DA4DC501.jpeg" width="256" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Ellenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06108215197848207855noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486259320475229857.post-25742842415503028412022-10-12T16:49:00.000-04:002022-10-12T16:49:10.994-04:00Sonny step 3<p> I only had an hour to paint this morning and then life got in the way this afternoon to get back to it. But I’m finding my itch to paint is coming back and I can’t wait to do more. </p><p>Today I softened any hard edges from yesterday’s wash, added another wash on the background (it will end up grey when finished), and started working out the mid-tone values on the plaid shirt. The first washes are just finding the pattern and will be followed by darker values.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL7LX9GLd8mYDXsmXIXamvxZQndOCOozZrM6uoWgLpUzAWn3_1TAKlNt524KUMI7oZZJ-korSRaZ038Fg721r5P0ii3sI7vYMhlMQ-L-xWeB1g1Vk8O9K2XlWIuldqXpXPgrAMNPOtXpQ7ydAWfjbsr6mFj-rRmml0Zh2BlN6lNQ6z7qtcrCPPgLGl/s3568/F0DAAAB8-695C-4C8A-A2DB-1274388D70C0.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3568" data-original-width="2831" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL7LX9GLd8mYDXsmXIXamvxZQndOCOozZrM6uoWgLpUzAWn3_1TAKlNt524KUMI7oZZJ-korSRaZ038Fg721r5P0ii3sI7vYMhlMQ-L-xWeB1g1Vk8O9K2XlWIuldqXpXPgrAMNPOtXpQ7ydAWfjbsr6mFj-rRmml0Zh2BlN6lNQ6z7qtcrCPPgLGl/s320/F0DAAAB8-695C-4C8A-A2DB-1274388D70C0.jpeg" width="254" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p><br /></p>Ellenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06108215197848207855noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486259320475229857.post-18177923826049048142022-10-11T12:34:00.000-04:002022-10-11T12:34:37.843-04:00Sonny step - 3<p> I’m finally back to working on this. I only have about a month to get it finished so there will be more frequent updates.</p><p>I added another layer of colour on the background. I’m not sure what the final colour will be. I think a warm grey but that may change as the portrait is worked on. I put a wash over the skin colour and the shirt. This just covers the intimidating white paper and let’s me see where everything goes. It’s just the first washes and very rough.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcJ1CfGezpjV67UPckqfzdHL_g_o2tz16QwEiuaM2FxmZs7cLV8mVVE66Xntj0CvHSljI64GNriMEVdRVuXkKD0uNOVODdfDhaDxfBiH7KOyxjkVLCmRowiCWWlICcEoKU5e3Yr6kkZS6mxYWsILt9807GAItwnBYMg0frf2mb57fIs0pGGYh6jqGj/s2899/B048B892-CAFC-46D0-ADEE-CAAB1A5BFADA.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2899" data-original-width="2276" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcJ1CfGezpjV67UPckqfzdHL_g_o2tz16QwEiuaM2FxmZs7cLV8mVVE66Xntj0CvHSljI64GNriMEVdRVuXkKD0uNOVODdfDhaDxfBiH7KOyxjkVLCmRowiCWWlICcEoKU5e3Yr6kkZS6mxYWsILt9807GAItwnBYMg0frf2mb57fIs0pGGYh6jqGj/s320/B048B892-CAFC-46D0-ADEE-CAAB1A5BFADA.jpeg" width="251" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Ellenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06108215197848207855noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8486259320475229857.post-88813896875145865732022-08-09T15:39:00.000-04:002022-08-09T15:39:22.375-04:00Sonny - step2<p> I’ve finished the detailed drawing of his eyes which look strange right now because I’ve outlined every large value change. Everything will look better once painted. I’ve also put on the first wash of colour in the background. It will get many layers ending with a greyish colour but I wanted texture and movement I it. Covering the white background makes it less intimidating to start the portrait part.</p><p>I think I forgot to mention the size.
